I tried using the old NR2002 executable again. It no longer works. It
did work the first time I tried it after patching, which was before I
had run the new executable. After running the new executable, neither
works now, which implies to me that the new executable changed something
in an .ini file that caused the crashes.
Only similar crash I have had that I have been able to fix was in
Dungeon Siege. It crashed or rather locked up the same way until I
turned off EAX in the game. Do you have an SBLive?
Also the original FIA mod used to crash this way, but version 2 does
not. I believe that problem was said to be due to a problem with a wave
file. Sound card again. When I get some more time to fool with it, I'm
going to try turning down audio acceleration. This has been said by
other people to be a problem with SBLive cards. If you have an SBLive
you might want to try that.
